But some Redditors think there’s a bigger reason behind her decision to stay away from relationships. Keep reading to see the shocking discovery.

Counting On: Jana Duggar’s Rare Appearances

Despite her online absence, Jana still participates in most of the Duggar family’s get-togethers. She also likes to spend time with her siblings, especially Joy-Anna. In February, the Counting On alum went out to a salon with Joy-Anna and Johannah to get a manicure. The second Duggar child also appeared in Joy-Anna’s vlog last month, featuring their sleepover with some of their younger sisters. Many were also surprised to see Jana with straight blonde hair, which is different from her usual wavy brown hair when she was still actively sharing updates online.

Jana Has Pregnancy Phobia?

Some Redditors discussed the possible reason behind Jana’s decision to stay single. According to the poster, they watched an episode where the Duggars helped the Bates family extend their house. However, Jana looked very uncomfortable when Kelly Jo talked to her about childbirth. The Reddit user also mentioned that the Counting On alum looked “nauseated” by the conversation, which is why they came up with the conclusion that Jana Duggar may have a pregnancy phobia.

Others agreed and thought that it could be a reason as to why she’s still single today, despite most of her siblings marrying at a young age.

“I think that’s a valid point & great perspective!”
“That’s a great point, I can definitely see that. Especially when you think about how many births she’s had to witness from a young age.”
“She was there for Jessa’s birth with Spurgeon wasn’t she? Because that looked rough. And Jana and Jill helped deliver Jubilee which has got to be traumatic.”
“What an interesting post. Fresh perspective for sure. Personally, I think Jana just doesn’t want that life. I don’t know if she knows what she wants yet, but I’m glad she hasn’t been forced to marry and have children she may not want. It’s confusing though because, well, duggars. I don’t know.”
“Entirely possible! Especially in a community where childbirth is just expected of you as the “natural next step.” It’s not really acceptable in their circles to “opt out,” hence the (problematic) assumptions of infertility when a fundie couple is not procreating like rabbits.”

Counting On: Jana Duggar’s Rumored Courtship

In 2020, Jana Duggar was rumored to be in a courtship with Stephen Wissmann. The speculations began when the Counting On alum appeared in the Wissmann family’s holiday photo. The Duggars and Wissmanns even had a joint trip to Waco, Texas, during the same year. Some fans have also noticed how close the two looked and how often they sat beside each other during get-togethers. However, things suddenly went silent between the two, and many believe that it was due to Josh’s CSAM arrest.
